    Women In History Click learn more about these great African-American women. Women have made up half the human race but you could never tell that by the books that historians write." -Arthur Schlessinger, Jr. Sojourner Truth (Isabella) (1820-1883) Born a slave in New York, Sojourner Truth escaped just before the state abolished slavery. Becoming a preacher-prophet, she adopted the name "Sojourner Truth." By 1843, she began touring America denouncing slavery and championing equal rights for blacks and women before religious, abolitionist
    and women's organizations.
    Truth visited President Abraham Lincoln at the White House in 1864, then remained in Washington to help runaway slaves. Her last years were spent urging Congress to allocate land and money for freed blacks in the West. Harriet Tubman (1821-1913) Harriet Tubman was born a slave in Maryland. At age 25, she escaped to freedom. She was to become the most famous conductor on the "Underground Railroad," a secret network of hiding places where fugitive slaves found sanctuary on their way north. All told, she made 19 trips back to the South,
    helping more than 300 slaves escape to freedom.

    News - February, 2007 Alice Paul and Rosa Parks are coming to SSCC In recognition of Women’s History Month, Southern State Community College is pleased to bring the portrayals of Alice Paul and Rosa Parks to the Edward K. Daniels Auditorium on the central campus in Hillsboro on Thurs., Mar. 15 beginning at 7 p.m. Performed by actresses from the group, Women in History , the event is free and open to the public. Alice Paul, born on January 11, 1885, believed in gender equality, education for women, and working for the betterment of society. Alice attended Swarthmore College at the age of 16 and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in biology in 1905. She then conducted graduate work at the New York School of Philanthropy and received her Master of Arts degree in sociology from the University of Pennsylvania in 1907. Alice also earned a Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Pennsylvania as well as an LL.B. from Washington College of Law, an LL.M. from American University, and a Doctorate of Civil Law. Alice participated in several protests for woman suffrage including hunger strikes and even served three prison terms. She committed herself to a life of causes until her death in 1977. Rosa Parks, an important figure in black history, was the creator of a modern civil rights movement that ended legal segregation in America and made her an inspiration to people everywhere. She was a brave woman who was arrested and fined for refusing to give up her bus seat to a white passenger. At the age of 11, she attended a private school for girls in Montgomery, Alabama and then went on to Alabama State Teachers College. She married Raymond Parks and they both worked on improving the life of African-Americans in the segregated south for several years. In 1957, Rosa and her husband relocated to Detroit, Michigan where she founded the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self-Development. The Institute coordinates a yearly program for teenagers known as
